"I have no idea how to bring it up to her" I sighed out to Hoseok as I fed Emily her oatmeal with a spoon while she sat in her height chair in their kitchen
"I mean.. look at this way.. you've lived in that house without Emily for four years now, and she's lived in that house without Jason for four years now.. maybe it's just time to pack up and start over somewhere where neither of you are affected by past loves"
"I mean..she's basically moved in with me..but.. I feel like she deserves to have a place with me and only me, the thought of leaving the house behind though, I'm worried. And what if she feels the same about her and Jason's house?"
"Aga!" Emily yelled at me as she smacked her plastic keys off the tray letting me know I was taking too long to feed her, I laughed "sorry princess, uncle Yoongi too slow?" I cooed as I scooped more into her mouth
"Only one way to find out really" he shrugged "you guys have been together for a little over a year, I don't see her saying no. I mean, if you're ready to let go of the house you and Emily bought together, I don't see Amelia being too apprehensive about giving up her house either"
"Fair point" I nodded "if my boss would give me a damn raise, I could live in a house almost as big as his" I smiled
"Psssh you think because you're my best friend I'm going to treat you differently? Fuck out of here" he laughed as he sipped his coffee
"Asshole" I smiled
"You are what you eat" he winked and I laughed my ass off and shook my head
"God what is wrong with you?"
"Don't act like you've never eaten ass Yoongs, come on now"
"I plead the fifth" I shook my head making him laugh extra hard and smack his knee, Emily started to laugh while she watched her dad crack up hysterically "you think that's funny?" I asked her with a laugh
"Dada!" She squealed
"I know, daddy is so funny" I smiled "tell him, say 'ew daddy! Gross!'"
"Ew dada!""I know baby" he smiled while she laughed her tiny ass off and smeared her oatmeal into her face.
"Hey babes" she smiled as she got into my car
"Hey beautiful" I smiled and leaned in pecking her lips before she put her backpack in my backseat "how was school?"
"Same as always. I can't wait for this to finally be over" she rolled her eyes as I pulled out of the parking lot
"It'll be over soon" I smiled and intertwined our fingers as I drove us home, she smiled and relaxed into her seat as she held my hand.
She followed me into my house and sat down on the couch
"So.. I was thinking" I started as I sat down next to her"Okay" she nodded and turned to face me "what's up love?"
I melted in her green eyes as I thought about what to say. I smiled as she reached for my hand and intertwined our fingers
"I was wondering.. do you want to move in together? Get our own house or apartment together, and start the next chapter of our lives together?"
Her eyes widened and she looked surprised before a giant smile crept across her face as well as a pink blush that made me smile wide
"I'd love to" she nodded and jumped into my lap wrapping her arms around me tightly "I love you so much Yoongi, I'm so excited!!"
"I love you too" I chuckled as I held her tight.
We spent the next few months looking at houses, we decided a house was better than an apartment, it would be our home, we talked about if we got married and had kids we wouldn't have to pack up and move to make room, we would just have the space ready and available.
Of course her only request was that she had a room with a giant window she could use as her art room, I accepted her condition as long as I was allowed to put my piano in it as well.
We shook on it and laughed."This is it" she smiled as we toured another house, we were in one of the rooms, it had a big bay window overlooking the field behind the house, and the trees. It was a huge room, big enough for her art supplies and my piano. I smiled as I wrapped my arms around her waist and nuzzled my face into her neck
"This is the one?" I asked
"This is the one" she noddedPacking up our houses was not easy. We helped each other through the process, we both shed some tears, and we both laughed as we told each other more stories about Emily and Jason as we came across forgotten things, or items we hadn't really touched since the other passed away.
As Jungkook drove off with our uhaul, and we each got into our own cars to drive over to our new home, I stared at my house with a sad smile
"I love you Emmy..here's to a new adventure, wish me luck"All of our friends helped us unload the uhaul, and put our furniture together, we ended the night by eating pizza and drinking beers while Emily ran around to all of her uncles screaming and laughing while we all showered her in love and praises. She was trying to get into all of the boxes and climbing up the stairs making Hoseok and Jimin panic as they tried to get their daughter to settle down and relax before she got hurt.
Eventually she settled into Amelia's lap on the floor, Amelia was feeding her bites of her pizza and she was munching away happily making my heart melt. The way Amelia looked at Emily made me feel warm from the inside out. She loves her. In every way that matters, she is her aunt. And she's an important person in her life, she loves cuddling her, playing with her, and taking care of her.
Once again the idea of us having children some day flashed through my mind and I smiled.
She'll be an amazing mom.
Emily and I talked all the time about having children, I always wanted to be a father. And now the idea of having those dreams come true with Amelia as my partner filled me with a happiness I could never put into words.
I really am in love with her.
With out any thought, and I mean none what so ever, shocked the shit out of myself, in front of all of my friends, and my niece, while we sat on the floor of my new house laughing and talking I looked over at Amelia
"Will you marry me?"
"What?" She asked as she turned her head in my direction, Emily was bouncing in her lap, and everyone got quiet like they were holding their breath or trying to figure out what I had just said so casually.
"Will you marry me?" I asked again, my nerves sinking in with the realization of what I had just said on a whim
"Of course" her eyes watered, I felt myself relax at her answer as I scooched closer to her and pecked her lips while Emily patted my chest to push me away making us giggle as she kissed me back and our friends began cheering making Emily panic and cry so Jimin picked her up, Amelia threw her arms around my neck and deepened the kiss as her tears ran down her face.
I didn't have a ring.
It was just us surrounded by the people that matter most to me as we sat on our living room floor eating pizza.
No thought.
No plan.
No extravagant proposal.Just us.
Only a few chapters left 🖤
